  The Wrestler 2008

  ★★★★½ Rewatched by márcio 08 Apr 2022

  as a lifelong fan of pro wrestling this already great film probably hits even harder for me than most people. i remember watching it when i was younger and (probably due to my age) not loving it as much, but man did i find this rewatch impactful. this setting works perfectly for the subject of an ageing performer, and it's wonderful to see it explored in such a raw and unfiltered fashion. you can tell the team behind this movie…

  Licorice Pizza 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched by márcio 27 Feb 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  the touch of a master director is instantly identifiable here, especially in the way the film seamlessly shifts through peculiar situations like forgotten memories. in terms of anderson's filmography, it's perhaps most reminiscent of inherent vice, punch drunk love, or boogie nights, at least in terms of style. the scene-stealing side characters, beautiful cinematography, pitch-perfect soundtrack selection, and massively impressive debut performances by alana & cooper are only some of the highlights in what is a sharply bittersweet movie.

  Hustle 2022

  ★★★ Watched by márcio 24 Jul 2022

  a very formulaic sports movie made likeable by adam sandler and a couple of surprisingly good nba player performances. although some of the soundtrack selections were genuinely grating and i will probably forget about it in a week's time, it was still a nice watch, it's evident the people behind it put some care into it. sandler's on-screen presence is honestly what keeps the whole thing together, he really has a knack for making you care. the multiple digs at…

  RRR 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched by márcio 23 Jul 2022

  world tour 2022.
  film #13 - india

  this is just a blast from start to finish, an unapologetic 3-hour epic whose runtime flies by. subtlety is one thing you won't find here, you get the power of friendship standing tall in the face of british imperialism and a war coming to life in the form of flying animals, dance battles and the most insane maximalist action visuals being put to screen in 2022. i'm really impressed by NTR and ram…

  Black Christmas 1974

  ★★★★ Watched by márcio 14 Oct 2020

  october horror watch.
  film #13

  while it's perhaps an even better watch during christmas time than october, black christmas certainly lives up to its hype as one of the OG slasher movies. a number of tropes present in many later films are present here and it's a delight to see it executed so well so early. the influence this movie had on carpenter's halloween is really noticeable so it's only right i finally watched one of the inspirations for my all-time favorite horror. the final 30 minutes are incredibly intense and the conclusion is perfect. i don't want to hear a telephone ringing ever again.

  I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020

  ★★★★½ Watched by márcio 07 Sep 2020

  "it’s the uniquely human fantasy that things will get better.
  born, perhaps, of the uniquely human understanding that things will not."

  the more you think about it and look at the film through a new perspective, the sadder it all becomes... a charlie kaufman film indeed.

  the last 20 minutes really threw me for a loop until i realised what was going on. my interpretation will probably change with rewatches but right now i see it as a portrayal of…
